Little Kids,Big Science

Big science concepts for eager little kids. A book series for ages 3-7.

"Hi, I'm Ros!"

Rosalind Rabbit isn’t an expert in anything, but she’s interested in everything! She’s a curious little rabbit with a lot of questions about the world, what scientists are doing today, and what they might be doing tomorrow.

Kids will join her on science adventures and shrink down to the size of a cell, dig up some fossils, and even learn to live on other planets! With a good imagination (and a handy notebook) she’s ready to explore the latest and greatest discoveries—and you can, too!

Why We're Different

Children are natural scientists. They’re constantly exploring the world around them, soaking up new information like a sponge. But the current market for children’s science books underestimates kids and is remarkably limited. Today's market is filled with countless iterations of the names of the planets and the bones in the body—underestimating kids and failing to inspire parents.

Little Kids, Big Science aims to change that.

Our goal is to add more inspiration to science education. Kids from 3 to 7 will follow Rosalind Rabbit as she learns all about the newest scientific discoveries and efforts. With Rosalind Rabbit our guide, we tackle real-world research that most consider too advanced for kids. Our books present these discoveries in simple and fun ways that are sure to fascinate kids and also teach their parents something new.

Meet the Authors

Inspired by Einstein’s quote “If you can’t explain it to a 6-year-old, you don’t understand it yourself,” we aim to explain important headline science – often seen as too complex for young learners – to a new generation of future scientists.
